Abstract

A method in a mobile communication terminal includes receiving signals from a serving cell and from one or more interfering cells. Respective channel responses are estimated in the terminal for the signals received from the interfering cells. A level of interference, caused by the signals of the interfering cells to a signal received from the serving cell, is derived from the channel responses. A Signal to Noise Ratio (SNR) is calculated for the signal received from the serving cell based on the level of interference caused by the signals of the interfering cells. Feedback information is produced based on the SNR and transmitted from the terminal.
